You can configure simple load balancing capability with
WebSphere Application Server by combining the
plug-in configuration files of multiple stand-alone application server
profiles into a single configuration file.
The number of configuration
files that you can combine are bound by the limits that exist in the WebSphere Application Server license agreement. You
can use the following different configurations of the application
server to combine the plug-in configuration files of multiple application
server profiles into a single output file:
- Using multiple stand-alone base application server profiles
- Using multiple stand-alone base application server profiles with
an administrative agent. For more information, see the documentation
on configuring simple load balancing across multiple stand-alone base
application server profiles with an administrative agent.
- Using multiple stand-alone base application server profiles with
an administrative agent using the job manager. The job manager function
is a part of WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment.
However, you can use the job manager function with stand-alone, base
application server profiles. For more information, see the documentation
on configuring simple load balancing across multiple stand-alone,
base application server profiles with an administrative agent using
the job manager.
Complete the following steps to configure simple load balancing
across multiple stand-alone, base application server profiles:
